Report a Problem | Add to List Flag of the United States "Until the Executive Order of June 24, 1912, neither the order of the stars nor the proportions of the flag was prescribed. Consequently, flags dating before this period sometimes show unusual arrangements of the stars and odd proportions, these features being left to the discretion of the flag maker. It was President Taft who signed the first Executive Order establishing proportions for the flag (a width of 1.0 and length of 1.9) and detailed the arrangement of the stars in six horizontal rows of eight each, with a single point of each star to be pointing upward."

Report a Problem | Add to List First Thanksgiving "Thanksgiving and the Pilgrims just seem to go together, but the truth is the Pilgrims never held a feast of thanksgiving. In fact, to these devoutly religious people, a day of thanksgiving would have been a day of prayer and fasting. But before you cancel the turkey, take a look at the three- day feast that the Pilgrims and Indians did hold. It was this harvest celebration that later became known as the First Thanksgiving."
